Characteristics

Detection was added to cover against a downloader file called "foto2007.exe" , having a filesize of 37.376 bytes decimal.

The file is internally compressed with the pklite32 packer.

The file is written using the Borland Delphi development tool.

Upon manual execution , it immediately connects to remote sites to download further files from.

  •  BSYYS.exe , filesize 234.496 bytes
  •  IMGLOG.exe , filesize 1.075.200 bytes , both of these files are packed with pklite32 and made using Delphi , the aim for these files is to capture user info such as passwords.

A temporary file is created called PONTO.dll  this is no real .dll but an asci - text file. Another remnant file is called "megatron.ini"

It also downloads a file called 

  • PIRATA.jpg, having a filesize of 22.528 bytes, the file is not internally compressed with a packer, the file seems to be a renamed regular file (of 32 bit pe .exe filetype). 

File locations for example on a win2000 system:

  • c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\bsyys.scr ,   size: 234.496 bytes
  • c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\imglog.exe ,  size: 1.075.200 bytes
  • c:\WINNT\pirata.jpg,   size: 22.528 bytes
  • c:\WINNT\ponto.DLL ,   size: 397 bytes
  • c:\WINNT\system32\bsyys.scr ,   size: 234.496 bytes
  • c:\WINNT\system32\imglog.exe ,   size: 1.075.200 bytes
  • c:\WINNT\system32\MEGATRON.ini ,   size: 0 bytes

Deceiving registry changes are made so that the malware gets executed automatically upon system start, for example on a win2000 system:

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "symanteccsysconf"
      Data: C:\WINNT\system32\bsyys.scr
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "SymantecFilterCheck"
      Data: C:\WINNT\system32\imglog.exe

It might try to connect to:

  • unix.ru###.org
  • http://64.211.##.210/wecham2007/
  • http://208.75.###.43/assinante/

The exact addresses are omitted on purpose here using # markings

 

Symptoms

Presence of the mentioned files with matching filesizes

Unexpected connections to:

  • unix.ru###.org
  • http://64.211.##.210/wecham2007/
  • http://208.75.###.43/assinante/

Method of Infection

Manual infection - there's no exploit associated with it.

Removal

All Users:
Use current engine and DAT files for detection and removal.

Modifications made to the system Registry and/or INI files for the purposes of hooking system startup, will be successfully removed if cleaning with the recommended engine and DAT combination (or higher).

Additional Windows ME/XP removal considerations
